The APA Dictionary of Statistics and Research Methods was selected for inclusion in Choice magazine’s annual Outstanding Academic Titles issue (January 2015). This is a very prestigious distinction for an academic title. Choice is the American Library Association’s publication for academic libraries. This year’s Outstanding Academic Title list includes 690 books chosen by the Choice editorial staff from among the over 7,000 titles reviewed by Choice during the past year. These outstanding works have been selected for their excellence in scholarship and presentation, the significance of their contribution to the field, and their value as important treatment of their subject. Comprising almost 9 percent of the titles reviewed by Choice during the past year, and less than 3 percent of the more than 25,000 titles submitted to Choice during this same period, Outstanding Academic Titles are truly the “best of the best.” As always, only a select group of publishers and authors are represented on such a list.
